What is the point of debate when one side the argument is objectively true? There is none.
That is, unless the incorrect arguer has the ability to influence the masses. When a relatively famous musician began spewing flat Earth views on social media, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson knew he had to jump in the ring and defend science with science.
General belief systems aren't a threat, but it's important to combat incorrect and dangerous views when they have a chance of pervading greater society.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEIL DEGRASSE:
Neil deGrasse Tyson was born and raised in New York City where he was educated in the public schools clear through his graduation from the Bronx High School of Science. Tyson went on to earn his BA in Physics from Harvard and his PhD in Astrophysics from Columbia. He is the first occupant of the Frederick P. Rose Directorship of the Hayden Planetarium. His professional research interests are broad, but include star formation, exploding stars, dwarf galaxies, and the structure of our Milky Way. Tyson obtains his data from the Hubble Space Telescope, as well as from telescopes in California, New Mexico, Arizona, and in the Andes Mountains of Chile.Tyson is the recipient of nine honorary doctorates and the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal. His contributions to the public appreciation of the cosmos have been recognized by the International Astronomical Union in their official naming of asteroid "13123 Tyson".
Tyson's new book is Letters From an Astrophysicist (2019).

TRANSCRIPT:
I don’t like debating people because in a debate what is the construct. It’s typically two people and there’s an audience and you debate some opposite sides of some issue. And then there’s a winner of the debate. And then everyone walks away reflecting on the winner. So who wins the debate? It’s often the person who’s charismatic, who’s maybe charming - that’s related to charisma of course. Who has a good way with words, good vocabulary. And you can have someone who doesn’t have any of that who is speaking objective truths who could lose a debate. So then what is the point of the debate of one of these points of view is objectively true. So I will not enter a debate where I have the objectively true side of an argument and the other person does not. That is something that should not be debated, does not belong in front of an audience getting debated. You want to debate something? Debate political policy of what to do in the face of climate change.
Do you have carbon tax? Do you have solar panels? Do you subsidize them? Debate that. Don’t debate something that is or is not objectively true in this world. The B.o.B, the rapper, I have a video letter to him the transcript of which is in Letters from an Astrophysicist. That rose to that level of attention because he started saying I am using laws of math and physics to show Earth is flat. Those are fighting words. If you’re going to say using math and physics, that is an alarm to the geekiverse that we must rise up and counteract these forces from the dark side that are out there. So, the bat signal went up. I responded. What is the bat signal? Oh, sorry. In my Twitter stream there are people saying Neil, you’ve got to do something about B.o.B. Save him from himself. He’s saying Earth is flat. Then I first said who’s B.o.B? So I quickly looked him up. Oh, he’s a rap star. Okay.
These are people who follow me and B.o.B in the Twitterverse. So what does that Venn diagram look like. How much overlap is there in the two Venn diagrams. In this slice, however narrow, they were pleading to me to do something and so I responded with a video letter. Just kind of putting him in his place.
I think it’s important to combat people who are claiming that they are using math, science, evidence and physics behind their cause when, in fact, they either aren’t or they’re using it badly. That needs to be called out. Otherwise if you just have a belief system I don’t really care. We live in a country that protects free speech which usually also means free thought. If you want to think Earth is flat, go right ahead. But if you start influencing other people who have power over other people and you have no foundation and objective reality it can be dangerous. If you influence people or you yourself become someone who has influence over legislation, laws, rules by which we all abide in society. That’s an unhealthy situation for civilization to be in. If your personal belief system...

    Neutrinos have been observed changing flavor between electron, muon and tau. How does that prove that neutrinos have mass? If they do have mass, then how can they arrive at the same time as the visible light from super novae that are many light years away? I would like to hear a general discussion about complex organic molecules in the Oort Cloud. I suspect that the cloud is full of them, but I have no evidence. We found amino acids on the Murchison meteorite. Meteors come from comets. Comets come from the Oort cloud. How best can we research this? Was the oblateness of the Earth greater a billion years ago?

    Flat earth fails on every point. The geocentric flat earth has ... • No working model, or map. • No way to determine proper distances, or directions between two point on the earth not sharing the same longitude. • No explanation for how the sun and the moon circle the earth, or how the sun migrates from the tropic of Capricorn to the tropic of Cancer and back over the year. • No idea why the ancient Greeks such as Pythagoras, Aristotle, Eratosthenes and Aristarchus believed the earth was a sphere. • No idea what P and S shockwaves detected by seismology equipment tells us about the internal structure of the earth, and the shape and dimensions of the surface of the earth. • No idea what powers the sun and the stars. • No idea of the distance to the stars. • Clueless as to why almost all stars don't appear to change position in the sky from opposite sides of earth's orbit around the sun when the phenomena of parallax says they should, and why we can only use the parallax method for measuring the distance of stars that are closest to the earth. Luckily, Polaris is one that we can determine the distance to using parallax, because it is also a Cepheid variable star, which allows the distance to be measured to much more distant stars where the parallax method not longer works. • No idea of the distance from the earth to the planets, or even much about them at all. • No idea why binary stars obey Newton's law of gravitation. • No explanation as to why we can only see 59% of the total surface area of the moon when, from a flat earth perspective we should be able to see most of it, including the dark side of the moon. • No idea why the moon appears upside down in the southern hemisphere compared to how it looks in the northern hemisphere, and why the phases of the moon are on opposite sides of the Moon, and why it looks circular from all vantage points on the earth. • No idea why sunspots rotate in the opposite direction in the southern and northern hemispheres, or even what sun spots are. • No believable explanation for how GPS is implemented across the world. • No explanation as to why aircraft carry ring laser gyros onboard capable of detecting the rotation of the earth. • No idea how it is possible to develop gravitational maps of the earth's surface, or why anyone would want one, or how they could be used. • No explanation for how eclipses work, especially lunar eclipses, or how to predict them correctly. • No idea why the Humber bridge, the Verrazzano Narrows bridge are built to account for the earth's curvature. • No idea why CERN, LIGO and the Stanford linear accelerator vacuum rings and arms are constructed to take account of the earth's curvature. • No idea why physicists working on LIGO, the gravity wave detector, were awarded Nobel prizes in physics. • No idea why geodetic surveyors keep claiming the earth is an oblate spheroid. • No idea why Google Earth does not publish its underlying flat earth model that allows it to project the earth as a globe. • No explanation as to why the sun rises due east for everyone on the earth on the equinox. • No idea why an observer on the equator during an equinox does not see the sun set at an angle 19° above the horizon. • No idea why there should be a discernible horizon that looks like the edge of the ocean viewed from a beach. The horizon should really be a blur as the farther we look out across the flat earth, the more light is scattered and the more particles in the atmosphere obscuring the view. • No idea how it is possible to see the sun set twice simply by changing your height above the earth (quickly by just a few tens of metres). • No reasonable explanation as to how Polaris can be used in conjunction with a sextant in the northern hemisphere to determine latitude. • No explanation as to why the Artic and Antarctic experience months of days and nights at differ times of the year. • No explanation why bright little objects called satellites by some are regularly visible in the night sky following a predicted path across the sky • No explanation for how tides work. • No explanation how (most times) boats disappear over the horizon when they should be visible on a flat earth. • No explanation as to why the horizon does not rise to eye level. • No credible explanation why helium balloons fitted with non-fish eye cameras often detect the curvature of the earth. • No credible explanation for the existence of the "Downward" force called gravity. • No explanation that does not implicitly make use of the theory of gravity for the atmospheric pressure gradient from high to low pressure with altitude, especially if we live in a dome. • No idea why (almost without exception) hurricanes and typhoons rotate in opposite directions in northern and southern hemispheres respectively. • No explanation for the Coriolis effect observable in controlled experiments such as those conducted by Ascher H. Shapiro in the 1960s. • No explanation as to why the northern celestial pole rotates counter clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and the southern celestial pole rotates clockwise in the southern hemisphere. • No idea what Antarctica even looks like, and where the South Pole is physically located. • No idea why Venus has phases. Bye bye Geocentric system. • No idea why planets, e.g. Mars, exhibit retrograde motion. Hello Heliocentric system. • No idea why the planets and their moons in the solar system appear to be obeying Newton's laws of planetary motion. • No explanation whatsoever why Stellar Aberration occurs. • No idea why clouds are illuminated from the bottom at sun set. • Can't explain how a commercial aircraft can fly from Perth to Sydney in only 4 hours 10 mins across the flat earth, as to achieve this, it would need to fly faster than an F18 on afterburner all the way. • No idea why the CO2 atmosphere of Mars appears to "Cling" to the exterior of its spherical spinning surface without the need for physical containment. This phenomenon is observable on others planets too. • No idea why the sun and the moon don't change in angular size from rising to setting by a factor of 2 to 3 since they are local to the earth, and no idea why the sun according to the inverse law of radiation is not 4 to 9 times brighter at midday than at sunset and sunrise when viewed from Australia. • No credible reason why millions of people (mostly scientists, engineers and technicians ) over decades would lie to keep the globe earth alive, and why nations and commercial enterprises, accountable to the voters and shareholders respectively, would spend (waste) $2 trillion a year , each and every year to maintain the globe lie. • No idea how it is possible to measure the value of G, the universal gravitational constant and in so doing, verify the theory of gravity. • No scientific papers publish in the last 100 years supporting the flat earth. • No idea why there is snow on hight moutains with a local sun as it has to get warmer and snow should melt if you get closer to the sun. Now the globe earth and the heliocentric model have answers that are consistent with each other to all of the above that the flat earth can't explain, but the globe earth is wrong and the flat earth is correct , even although the flat earth model is almost useless at explaining anything? Have I understood the situation correctly? The flat earth is gaslighting to the power infinity

Are you saying that every single University and science program IN THE WORLD is part of this conspiracy? Ridiculous dude! Please think about it independently like you said.

    Q: Why aren't there ANY flat earth maps with a scale for distance? I know why, do you? A: FE map can't EVER get actual distances accurate compared to what we can easily observe. So by not providing a scale, reality is simply dismissed and stupid people fall for it. Q: Why aren't there ANY flat earth maps with cities shown? I know why, do you? A: Similar to Q1 above. You can't account for distances between cities compared to what we know for a fact. The better reason to include this question is the fact that on FE map, there will be countless examples of cities that are farther north or south of each other than what we know to be true. Q: Why aren't there ANY flat earth maps with countries' borders shown? I know why, do you? A: Pennsylvania has 3 straight line borders with neighboring states and we can survey these borders proving this. On FE map, these borders become increasingly exaggerated curves the farther south you go. In Australia, it gets worse. 90% (or more) of their borders are straight but on FE map they'd be severely curved. Experiment: Pick 2 towns in America that are 200 miles* apart and connect them with a straight line**. Pick 2 towns in Australia that are 200 miles* apart and connect them with a straight line**. On FE map these 2 lines will be different lengths. How can 200 miles* be shorter in the northern hemisphere than 200 miles* in the southern hemisphere? It can't happen. 200 miles = 200 miles... ALWAYS...EVERYWHERE. Here ya go, I did it for you. 200 miles apart in America: Buffalo, NY to New Hartford, NY = 194 miles*** 200 miles apart in Australia: Wilcannia, NSW, Australia to Canbelego, NSW, Australia = 191 miles*** * Use any distance you want but make sure the towns in both countries are east/west of each other (on a globe). ** If these lines aren't straight enough for you, then there's no hope. You're gone. *** If these values aren't close enough to 200 miles for you and you want to use that to prove me wrong, then that's even more pathetic than simply admitting you're wrong. Good luck on that one... Now it's time for the bonus round where the prize is the truth!! Perth, Australia to Sydney, Australia = 2448 miles, driving. Draw a straight line on FE map. Los Angeles, CA to Florence, SC = 2477 miles, driving. Draw a straight line on FE map. The Aussie line is 83% longer than the American line. How can that be? Maybe the American road has a LOT more turns. OK, fine. How many miles by air are both routes? Aussie route = 2049 miles & American route = 2192 miles. The American distance is greater but the line drawn is MUCH shorter. The FE map is false to the point of being laughably ridiculous and fraudulent. I'll come back soon to see that my comment was deleted. You certainly can't have the truth seeping through your lies, so I get it.

    Here is a little song I wrote a while back that perfectly describes the way flat earthers argue. (Listen to "Black is Black" by Las Bravos as that is the tune I wrote it to) Verse 1. Earth is flat, because I’m really fat. It’s not a sphere, because our water is not clear. It’s not a ball, cause I, I’m very tall. Verse 2. If it’s a ball, all objects would not fall. No gravity, Because I have a cavity. It’s not a ball, cause I, I’m very tall. Chorus: It is flat, I am fat and I don’t have a cat. I am a flerf you all watch Smurf. And you're all a derf. Verse 3. Dad is fat. Because the earth is flat. If it were round, his ass would still not be bed-bound. It’s not a ball, cause I, I’m very tall. Verse 2. Earth is flat, because I’m really fat. It’s not a sphere, because our water is not clear. It’s not a ball, cause I, I’m very tall.

    So by this logic (and no, I am not a Flat Earther), in a primarily American *Christian* society, if people who believe in other religions (Buddhism, Islam or even Jehovah Witnesses) would go from door to door to 'persuade' others to join that particular religion, is that also considered an "unhealthy situation", because those religions have far more other cultural ideas than the Christian religion. The norms and values within those religions are sometimes completely against Western society. Still, they are allowed to practice it, build their places of worship and actively 'recruit' people to join them. But nobody stops that.

Dave said all the usual flat earth crap we’ve all heard a thousand times but the science guy clearly wasn’t prepared for all the nonsense coming out of Dave’s mouth and stumbled his way through the debate - plus English wasn’t his first language to make it worse. So, of course, Dave won the debate easily and all the flatties took it as a win. Does that mean he was right? Hell no! Dave is a moron. But he was charismatic and well rehearsed with his flat earth bs.

    Thank you! I've bee saying for years that debating is no way to settle a disagreement. In a debate, you can't change or modify your position, you can't go away and come back later when you have new information, you can't do actual experiments, and you can't agree to disagree. It doesn't reach scientific truths. It doesn't change anyone's mind. It doesn't even settle courtroom disagreements, because courtrooms have rules and procedures that aren't reflected in formal debates. It doesn't even really affect the way people vote, because most people's minds are made up before the debate even starts. The only thing a debate is good for is a "game" played by high school students. Plus, when you debate someone who clearly has no basis or expertise, you present the other person as an "equal" to yourself, and in the process, partially validates any ridiculous position.

In a flat world that's gotta be the main focus, Earth having an edge. Go find it and document it. Pool your money together, use your superior knowledge of physics and geography to navigate yourselves to the edge and document it. It's such a huge and obvious thing to show to other people that before you do that nobody should lend an ear to your crap. But of course nobody's willing to do that. I can already see all the conspiracy-laden excuses why they can't do it. The real reason for not doing it is simple, they won't do it because they're afraid that it'd be a simple answer to whether or not they are wrong. They can't risk being wrong.

    Even if the earth is flat you would never ever see anything through that much haze of atmosphere I’ve looked through plenty of telescopes at distant object in the sky and on earth and if you are looking at something on the ground but distant it’s like looking through water after so long. Extremely hazy. Look at those images of Area 51 from that mountain peak what 15 miles away or so, you can see the base but at the same time you see absolutely nothing it’s so hazy and obfuscated.

    David Smith No because air is a fluid. A thin fluid to be sure, but still a fluid. 7400 miles separate NYC from Mount Everest. 7400 miles of thin fluid is enough to distort the image, making it impossible to see at that distance. Everest is shrouded in the clouds, in addition to the fact there are two dozen rain storms raging in between at any given time.
